• Bell Work-1.) Based on your prior knowledge which group is Colleen Moore talking about in this excerpt? 2.) Why do you think that Colleen Moore found it so easy to identify with the group she is referencing in this excerpt? Do you think many young ladies feel this way today? 3.) Judge the value of Colleen Moore’s statement where she says “I don’t know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future…”. Why do you think she referred to these women as the “wave of the future” instead of comparing them to the progressive women who fought for women’s equality in the past?

Wednesday-11/13/19:

• Bell Work-1.) What is the main idea contained in the excerpt from John W. Dean in his council towards President Nixon? 2.) Imagine you are President Nixon and you just finished listening to John W. Dean’s comments about compulsory voting. What are two to three questions that you might ask him in regards to his comments? 3.) What do you think about Dean’s comments that requiring citizens to vote is “…less restrictive than requiring us, for example, to attend school; … to pay taxes; or to serve in the military when drafted”? Is he making a logical argument or is he just grasping at straws in his attempt to win Nixon towards his point of view?
